2022 Salsa Journeyer Apex 1 700c gravel bike review: The happy bike - CyclingTips

Aug 2022 · Dave Rome

The fun and easy-going one of the party.

Highs
  • Highly versatile design, surprisingly comfortable, easy-to-ride geometry, tubeless-ready (sort of), regular component fitments, good tyre clearance, just simply fun.

Lows
  • Stubby seat tube lengths make the sizing weird, potentially over-geared for adventuring on big tyres, mechanical disc brakes are only so-so, cables will rub paint if not protected.

Highs
  • Comfortable ride

  • Great shifting and braking

  • Loads of mounts

Lows
  • Welds are a little agricultural

  • Wheels add weight

  • Pushed hard on price
